Just a couple questions
What is the piece of skin under the neck area of guinea fowl is it also called a wattle? Two of my guineas have rather large ones and very blue in colour (both birds are pied, patchy chest) is it a pied thing? as the other two which are pearl have nothing, or a breeding season thing?

Tried to get a couple of photos :/

Thanks

No not part of the wattle that is called the throat flap and usually on mature or sexually active males and is believed a courtship decoration. Also its on Pearl and Pearl pieds and splits
